The crash report indicates implies that octave was built and installed by 
Homebrew on you mac. Is that correct?

Path:            
/usr/local/Cellar/octave/4.0.2_3/libexec/octave/4.0.2/exec/x86_64-apple-darwin15.5.0/octave-gui

Sebastian and I have noticed that libs in /usr/local/lib may be used instead of 
those installed via Homebrew. What does “ls -l /usr/local” return?

Have you tried the dmg now available on source-forge? The source forge apps 
were built by Sebastian. If you also have trouble with the one from source 
forge, I can make the one I built available for you to try.
